GM #nostr And it’s….. already gone! #thx to the #monero community for the support. Fun stuff ahead! View quoted note →

today was the last straw. Woke up to find out that one of my main #lightning channel have been closed. I opened it a few months ago and it was a really good routing channel. The date coincide with the Liquid Network hack. For evey hack and vunerability that was found, some channels were just closing. After hours of roaming around and analysing the nodes, I can confirm that the LN is centralized with a dozen of big nodes. They often form some 1ppm cestpools that obviously highjakes all the transaction. Their main bread and butter is to instead offer liquidity to plebs by chargeing an arm and a leg and closing them as they wish. I think its time i continue building on #nostr but with #monrero.

@Derek Ross , whenever you have a chance, dont forget to have a look at @workstr! Really appreciated!

Good morning! Last day for syncing my #monero node. About 12hrs left. It’s INSANE like changeing disk type makes a difference for sync. I initially was using a HDD and it was around 3 month ETA. Transfered my VM to a SSD and took barely 40 hrs to sync. Same CPU, RAM, only SDD instead of HHD.
